Untold Stories at the Museum

 Saturday, 10 April

We enjoyed another presentation at the National Museum of the Pacific War - stories told by museum volunteers. Some of the stories were related to

• Survival in the jungle - survival kit and field hospitals.
  

• Can you imagine that the soldier who wore that helmet survived the shot that totally damaged the metal head cover?
  

• Nurses who refused to leave their patients and as a result of that became prisoners of a Japanese war camp. Their names were written on that piece of silk.
  

• Japanese WW2 soldier's kit and uniform.

• Women in decoding service.

•  Letters from the war front.

• An early email like system that made letter exchange faster and more efficient.
  

There was more and all very interesting!

Check on the schedule of the museum events to see and hear it all as well. The admission for the Saturday Living History presentations is free.
